...consideration of the many variations of which the Athletic Committee has made on its own authority the meaning of the word "professional" capable, it would not, perhaps, be a bad plan for our representatives at the next conference to ask the Faculty if this declaration of the amateur athletes agrees with their ideas of what constitutes a "professional." It seems as if there was an excellent opportunity for the students to get a clearer definition of "professional," since such a positive and unequivocal definition has been given by an authority so much respected in athletic matters.

The reason for the delay, as we learn from a member of the committee, is simply that a favorable opportunity for presenting the plan has not yet offered itself. Before President Eliot went away from Cambridge, the faculty was busy with other matters; after the President's departure, consideration of the plan had necessarily to be postponed.

...would say to the writer of the communication in "Newspaper Clippings," published this morning, that the authorities are considering some plan for carrying out this important scheme, which has been advocated by several correspondents in our columns, of cutting out, and indexing newspaper articles. President Eliot, who is now on a trip south, intends to visit Johns Hopkins University, and study the methods in vogue there, with the idea of putting some such plan into operation at Harvard...
